Draymond Green argued that Stephen Curry had to deal with more double-teams when they were teammates on the Golden State Warriors.

Green talked about Curry's legacy on the Colin Cowherd show.

Green said in the interview that Curry got double-teamed seven times more than KD did in a given series.

The Warriors won back-to-back titles in both of the last two years. In 2015, the squad won without KD, but Iguodala won the Finals Most Valuable Player instead of Curry.

Curry has impressed during the title runs, even though he hasn't won the Finals Most Valuable Player award.

The star averaged more points per game than any other teammate. Klay Thompson scored 15.8 points while Iguodala averaged 16.3 points.

Curry took 3.4 fewer shots per game and had 9.4 assists, but he still averaged 26.8 points. His 27 points in the first four games of the series was good for a 27.5 average, but his 37 points in the last game might have been too much for voters to change their minds.

Curry has averaged 26.4 points per game in the playoffs during his career compared to 24.3 in the regular season. He has averaged 26 points in five Finals appearances.

His career has been marked by increased attention from defenses.

After the Clippers beat the Warriors in February, Tyronn Lue, who coached the Cleveland Cavaliers in three straight Finals against Golden State, said, "You've got to remember, in 2017 and 2018, we bashed Curry with Kevin Durant." That is how dangerous he is.

Even if the number of double-teams Curry faced was disputed, opponents focused on the guard and left space for him.
